Urban Barn

Corporations Canada's federal registry lists Urban Barn Ltd. (corporation number 390398-2, registered office Vancouver, BC) as a non-distributing corporation with 50 or fewer shareholders. Its individuals with significant control register names Ronald Stern as the sole current ISC, holding more than 50 and up to 75 percent of shares indirectly with a Vancouver address for service, effective since 2001-08-01; four prior ISCs holding joint control (Shamsh Kassam, Neil de Gelder, D. Keith Van Apeldoorn, Nigel Cave) all ended in 2022 to 2023, leaving Stern in sole control. No foreign entity or parent appears anywhere in the filing. The vendor's own site states it is "100% Canadian-owned and operated," consistent with the registry. This card found no evidence of an "Elmer" family connection to the company in the registry or on the vendor's site; the site instead credits founders named Rick and Craig, and a director, Craig A. Stewart, shares a first name with one of them, though the surname could not be confirmed as the founder's.

Urban Barn's Canadian-Made Custom Furniture collection (upholstered sofas, sectionals, and chairs) lists 178 items. Summing the six core furniture subcategories on its own site (bedroom 86, dining room 180, entryway 31, home office 37, living room 498, storage and organization 63) gives roughly 895 furniture items in total, so the Canadian-made line is about a fifth of the catalogue; the rest, largely case goods, is imported. The CANADA List directory corroborates this, describing manufacturing as "largely outsourced" to "Asia" and "Global" sources with no US or EU facilities named, so the non-Canadian share is placed entirely in OTHER. This split is this card's own estimate from item counts, not a published production figure.

Urban Barn's own site puts its head office and first store in Vancouver, BC (opened 1990), with more than 55 communities served from BC to Nova Scotia and over 650 team members, all within Canada. Its federal registered office is also Vancouver, BC, consistent with a single-country operation.

Neither Urban Barn's site nor the CANADA List entry specifies where fabrics, foam, wood, or hardware are sourced. Given roughly a fifth of the furniture line is Canadian-made and even that program likely draws some fabric, foam, and hardware from the same global supply chain as the imported case goods, materials are estimated to skew more foreign than the finished-goods split, with a small Canadian share retained for the domestic upholstery program. This is an estimate, not a published breakdown.
